Hello all,
i need help.

Config:
Windows 10 Pro x64bit
OS Build: 14393.187
AMD 8350-Fx 8 core processor
Sabertooth 990Fx R.2 motherboard
AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB

ISSUE:
During display driver installation, i get a black screen and display fails to recover,
screen stays black.
I then have no choice but to force kernel power off and reboot,
it reboots successfully only on Microsoft basic display adapter.
I have tried many drivers but it seems there is some other conflict with some windows component/policy/service that is blocking the display driver .

i checked event log, the only error i am getting is
event id 7023 service control manager
The CDPUserSvc_1010a3 service terminated with the following error:
Unspecified error

Please help,
i have tried Recovery, Reset, Diagnose Repair, DDU, uninstalling driver components in Safe mode and all other basic troubleshoot steps i could find on the web. So far nothing has helped.
please provide guidance so as to identify the source of the problem and eventually find a possible fix.

Are you downloading it from the AMD website or did you press update? If you are updating, try to remove the drivers and re-install it from the AMD website. Than you have to beware of the next:
Are you installing the right version of the drivers? What means you have selected the Windows 10 x64 driver version?

yes i am downloading from the AMD website,
as per my graphics card AMD radeon HD 7870, i have downloaded driver version 16.7.3
i have also tried other version including latest updates but i keep getting black screen during every installation attempt.
I am only able to boot on microsoft basic display adapter driver.
uninstall solutions via safe mode also not working.
